MIT400/2 CAT IV Insulation testers MIT400/2 CAT IV Insulation testers Designed for Electrical and Industrial testing Insulation testing up to 1000 V and 200 GΩ range Stabilised insulation test voltage (New) Single range, faster continuity testing from 0.01 Ω to 1 MΩ (New) Adjustable insulation test voltage from 10 V to 1000 V (New) 600 V Trms AC and DC voltage measurement Test result storage and Bluetooth downloading Live circuit detection and protection Rechargeable options for mains and car charging (New) CAT IV 600 V and IP54 DESCRIPTION The MIT400 mk2 series insulation and continuity testers are designed not just for Electrical and Industrial, but with an exceptionally wide range of applications from electrical installations, cable testing, motor testing, automotive, ESD, panel building, avionics, maintenance etc. Insulation testing has been enhanced with feedback controlled test voltages to limit over-voltage to 2%, rather than the industry standard 10-20%. A variable range has been added to allow any intermediate voltage from 10 V to 1000 V in 1 V steps, where application specific test voltages are required that do not appear in the standard ranges. Continuity testing is now significantly faster, and a single autoranging 0.01 Ω to 1.0 MΩ function replaces the ohms and kohms ranges. Retained are the 200 ma and 20 ma test options. THE MIT400 RANGE: The range consists of four instruments: MIT400/2 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V MIT410/2 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V + PI, DAR MIT420/2 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V + PI, DAR + VAR (New) and result storage MIT430/2 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V and 1000 V + PI + DAR + VAR (New) + Bluetooth download INSULATION RESISTANCE TESTING: The stabilised insulation test voltage is now accurate to +2% -0%. This compares to the industry standard +20%, providing a more accurate test voltage without the risk of over-voltage damage to circuits or components. The output voltage is maintained between 0 and 2% throughout the test range. Replacing the original MIT400 instruments the new units feature a redesigned case, back-stand, and 6 cell battery compartment with separate fuse access. Where a non-standard test voltage is required, a variable range allows the exact test voltage to be selected from 10 V up to 1000 V. and is subject to the same stabilised output control. All instruments are over-moulded for increased protection and achieve an IP54 weatherproof rating.

SAFETY Designed to be exceptionally safe to use, fast detecting circuitry prevents damage to the instruments if accidentally connected to live circuits or across phases. Specifically, all instruments: Meet the international requirements of IEC61010 and EN61557. Live circuit detection inhibits insulation testing on circuits above 25 V, 30 V, 50 V, 75 V or 100 V (default 50 V). Live circuit detection and test inhibit on continuity measurements. Default display of live circuit voltage on all ranges. Detection and inhibit functions even if the protection fuse has failed. Suitable for use on CAT IV applications and supply voltages to 600 V. 3
